Cowboy boots, chaps, and 6 shooters!

[Anonymous 42]

I’ve come to understand why they had cowboy boots, chaps, and 6 shooters.

I almost walked into a large snapping turtle!

Living in the forest has thought me to look where I step and to scan the surroundings!

Yesterday I found evidence of a bear uprooting a stump not even 30 yards from where I’m typing this! The deer ate about 30% of my delicious pepper plants. I’m pulling ticks off me and always doing vegetation management from grass (where the snakes hide) to trees that fall off their stumps!

Anyone that thinks I’m a prick for shooting things that can and will harm me should get down in the ring with all these nasty creatures that bite, claw, and in this morning’s case BEAK a big hole in my calf or bite off a toe and destroy a sneaker!

Anyway, I understand cowboy boots, chaps, and 6 shooters! Just another revelation as why things are as they are…

I wonder just how many cowboy boots were bitten by snakes? Chaps too!

Ohh erm too bad for the deer (they’ll be on fire for some while I guess) I mean oh dee(a)r…!

(just couldn’t help myself with you pushing me to it…)

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC

Who needs a bite first thing in the morning?

Gee was it rabid?

Was it carrying disease?

Was it poisonous? Did you get it’s make and model for the antivenom?

Or in the case of something a little bigger; I hope I can keep my neck covered until this monster is done mauling me!

If it has antlers, horns, hooves, or teeth, I stay the f~~~ away!

Its the little things I worry the most about: Ticks, Spiders, and Rattle Snakes.

The big animals don’t worry me too much (except mountain lions!!!)

A guy I work with was doing some dumbass camping. He got hammered and used his food bag (candy bars etc) for a pillow. He woke up in the morning with his tent torn open and his food bag gone. He followed the trail of half eaten candy and wrappers into the woods. The Bear could have killed him, but just went for the Candy instead. That was a Black Bear, we don’t have Grizz here in Michigan.

Ticks wake me up from a sound sleep walking on my skin, it’s like going into bomb disposal mode without delay!

The big cats are something to worry about from behind or if you’re stupid enough to go jogging down wooded trails. If they loose the element of surprise and you spot them they’re easy to intimidate, they like safe kills. My worry is anything rabid, I’ve come across a hissing raccoon, 12:00 Noon, on the trail, and close to water! We turned and RAN!

I just caught one crawling across the floor this morning. The Ticks have been getting worse these last few years too. They’ve gotten me sleeping a few times already. I woke up with red painful welts. I figure it had to be the Ticks.

Now thanks to Plum Island’s GMO bacteria, we have Lyme’s Disease to worry about too. That S~~~ will ruin your life so be careful.

Ticks seem to be thick here this year and early. I’ve got a problem with brown recluse spiders here, but none seen so far as of yet. I consider those evil creations demonic!

The wild is dangerous. Man has relatively made due with the fact.

Cities are far more dangerous. In certain places, having a certain expresion. Someone may murder you for.

Narcissistic motorists could cause a massive pileup. Resulting in multiple fatalities.

In the wild, having basic understanding of the seasons. Will prepare you for multiple possibilities. You can take proper precautions.

You still might die. The chances of living to a ripe old age, in the wild is much higher.

I can’t say much about cowboy boots. I never owned a pair.

I do wear a pair of steel toe work boots most days. My feet have been saved more then a couple of times by them. They can also be used as a weapon, if need be, like wearing a hammer on the end of your foot.

I like to use gas on fire with a pump sprayer! I could teach any radical extremist at least one new trick!

Concerning the deer eating your pepper plants, are you using any deer repellent? I save my urine and dilute down to 10-20% with water and splash it around the base of each pepper plant. It keeps deer and armadillos away from my various flowerbeds and plants readily use the Nitrogen and Phosphorus that you are supplying them. It also feeds the soil organisms. Reapply every few days until the plants are doing well. I haven’t had deer problems since I started this method the deer avoid my yard and graze the neighbor’s yard instead.

We have snakes on our beaches . As in some spots there is a bit of bush . People walk past snakes all the time and dont even know it . Red belly blacks and brown snakes . There deadly .

In the area i lived the keel back snakes were every where as there was scrub and swamp behind me . They do a natural job of keeping rats down .

Keelback and rough scales look the same . Rough scale deadly keelback not . I virtually picked em out just on there temprement . They were rare in that area . A bloke died in that spot i lived many years ago back in the day . Simply by misidenterfying . Its normally the best way that they are distinguished is the scale pattern on there heads .

I had the yard meshed in to keep toads out but everything else could come and go . A massive cave i built with a waterfall . Came home one night to find i left the back door open and my kitchen light on . My whole bottom of my home was coverd in small tree frogs . Important to wash hands before touching them so you dont hurt there skin . Me and the kids had to catch all these frogs . Funny night . Had around four different spiecies of frogs . FROG

One keelback just never left my yard . He had a scar across his back where some c~~~ had hit him with a spade . He use to always sit on my back step . Kids just use to step over him .

If you look into the history of sydney you will find when they cleared large areas to build houses back in the olden days they ended up with a bad rat problem because they killed all the snakes .

People had to sleep with the kids between them .

A snake doesnt want to waste its venom on you . Leave them alone and they will leave you alone .

I stepped within six inches of the dangerous end of a three foot long rattlesnake last week, thankfully he was stretched out in the sun and just looked at me as I pulled my foot nearly up to my face once I caught sight of him…Boots and chaps would have been nice.

I have a model 1871 Colt Peacemaker that I strap on when I take the garbage cans a quarter mile to the road at night… Mountain lions scare the s~~~ out of me.

Hey Joe, you’d be better off with one of these! I know that feeling of wondering if you’re being stalked!
